Out of history

I return to consider other book of Wycliffe and I think about this writer that now he is out of history;  I must consider that he is leaded by personal motives, and he certainly was right, because during Middle age bishops, in Britain, were very execrable, and he was very right, but also popes are very poor; and I certainly doing not justify this behavior, but I insist when somebody lives out of time and he don’t consider that human gender is human and it can be took from passions or other and he don’t evaluated that the Church is human building thereby it is in time and his time, where political dynamics and political alliances and betrayals are to day, and pope and Church live in human time and political time, and military time, and fight time, therefore it is laughable the words: “If pope isn’t superior in secular time and spiritual, but he has alone spiritual service, and not secular it is logic that imperators, kings, barons aren’t members of Church according to rationality isn’t chief…”, it is evident the pope didn’t substitute to lay power”, and other step: “ …it is said that pope to be chief of Church and superior to lay power”, pope has always declare that he superior to imperator alone in spiritual matter, popes known that superiority to imperator on lay power is impossible. He took some steps of Letter to Roman of saint Paul where he said: “…that every person is submitted to authority, because it are ordinated and prepared by God”; therefore religious power is prepared by God, why the pope must inferior to imperator? “Therefore the pope doesn’t judge or dominate on lay time…and he can’t judge about marry”, this wedding is celebrated in the church therefore pope can judge. Other step Wycliffe want that temporal activity and acts can distract to religious and spiritual activity, but Church must consider that the word is political activity, because survive same of Church it is bonds to word. After he thinks that pope and priest can marry, but Christ was not married and apostles neither, other contradiction: “…Oriental Church has approve it” and he added: “Thereby it is prohibition isn’t God order but alone human and canonical”, it is fear but the oriental Church has approved it, and this equal canonical right?I think that he has took arguments that are certainly true but He wanted alone argue, but out of history context.
